Not really , they are so easily beaten it's useless . It's not difficult for someone to calmly lie, especially if you knew it would keep you out of serious trouble and had time to practice (some people are good enough to beat it with no practice and zero military training on the subject). That is why they aren't admissible, that and the frequent false positives!

WRT mayumi's confession: It's pretty much trivially easy to extract a confession from an innocent suspect if they don't have a lawyer present, just through confusing and pressuring them. Doubly so if they don't have english as their first language. Doubly doubly so if they're threatening you with deportation. Remember, a police interrogator's job is presented to them as /extracting a confession/ rather than /finding out the truth/. They go in assuming the suspect is guilty and use all their tools to get them to confess.

Regarding the Mayumi interview, I've read on Quora that the Japanese people, unlike American people, are significantly more submissive towards police authority, to the point of confessing to crimes that they have not committed. This "respect" towards authority is deep-rooted in Japanese culture. I thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos. Keep up the good work!

Soliloquy - I find the Ballon Boy Mystery video was a happy accident. Like he said, he went into Ballon Boy thinking he was gonna make fun of him for five minutes. It just happened that the more he looked into things, the more interesting it got. It would be nice he made more Mystery vids though, it's just not something I think he could pump out as a series unlike his other videos simply recapping memes.

Another thing about Naomi's confession. In Japan it is very common place to automatically plea guilty for minor crimes. You can spend 180 days in jail without a trial for something like shoplifting or you could confess and serve 30-60 days with a guilty plea. Japan also has an extremely high conviction rate. If you are at the stage of being interviewed by the police, you are more likely than not to be convicted.

The issues with police intimidation and lies during interrogations are far more widespread than just this case. It's been shown to lead to a significant number of false confessions. It's counterintuitive, but has been empirically shown to happen. I think the UK stopped allowing police to lie during interrogations for this specific reason (sometime in the 90s, I think). The US, not so much.

I remember seeing a video or article recently that was doing a retrospective on the 'dingo ate my baby' incident that became such a meme. The researcher discovered that it's actually possible, based on a lot of evidence that got ignored in the frenzy, that a dingo or other wild animal killed the baby. But because of the parents perceived negligence and the nature of the case everyone immediately put the blame on them. If what they said actually happened is true imagine how harrowing it must've been to lose your child, get crucified by almost the whole world, and then be turned into a meme. I think in cases like this, whether it was a hoax or not, turning it into a vicious joke against the potential victims is more harm than good. But it's the internet, so even if it was proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it wasn't a hoax, they'd still get memed to hell

I'm sure someone posted this at some point, but there are a lot of things the cops fucked up on. 1.) Polygraphs are inadmissible in court. So their use is borderline coercive means to get a confession, which is also inadmissible in court. 2.) No Japanese translator being present for a non-native English speaker is a major no-no as well. 3.) The kid doing something stupid and/or dangerous when it's all caught on camera isn't a reason to sic DHS on their parents, largely because... 4.) It isn't any investigator's job to assume guilt; It's to follow leads to whatever conclusion is most illuminating and all-inclusive for the case at hand. No credible investigator should ever allow the press to bully and intimidate any suspect, either. Those cops who were involved in this particular case are flat-out guilty of abusing their power at the very least, if not easily guilty of far worse. Someone should dig into all previous convictions attached to their arrest records. There's likely to be a lot of this kind of stuff in their past. There almost always is. That's it, for me. Thanks for the video, and no, I'm not a cop or lawyer. I just know some things through having friends who are police officers and having had a lot of things explained to me by guys who know what cops aren't supposed to be doing, that's all. That's very important information to have, and can save you a lot of hassle in your life.

Yep, their tactics are pretty transparent. They kept pressing them until they messed up. They ignored all the evidence supporting their innocence and kept investigating until they managed to coerce her into giving them something to grab onto, then they stopped investigating. It's like how the EU presents referendums. They keep asking until you give the "right" answer, then they never ask again.

I feel about 50-50 about whether it was a hoax after seeing your video but even 60-40 what happened to the family is a miscarriage of justice. It's too bad they took a plea because there's reasonable doubt that they did anything illegal.

I hadn't reached the end before I wrote this. The preponderance of evidence discussed in this video would apply to civil trials, but based on the initial video, since they were facing felonies that wouldn't apply here. Those are criminal charges, so the evidence to rule against them would have had to be beyond a reasonable doubt in the US (Which is about 90-10)

Never talk to media, never talk to police. If something happens, it might seem tempting, but that's what lawyers are for. Whether this guy's guilty or not, we may never know for sure. But talking to the media and the police didn't help him or anyone else. Both police and media can and will use everything you say against you.

One million electron volts is 1.6 x10^-13 joules. An AA battery has roughly 4.75 quadrillion times more energy than that. Internet Historian, I think you mixed up your energy measurements. Ether that or heeney is a dumb scientist

Anthony I noticed that too. In a CNN transcript of the coverage, including the 911 call Heene refers to it as a high voltage experiment and then says that it's a few million electron volts. It's only so suspicious to me that he specifically used eV- I can only imagine that whatever his theories were would have called for immense amounts of energy such that he would never be interacting with eV except on maybe a theoretical fundamental level? Probably something the historian should look into

You know if it was a hoax, they really didn't set it up the 911 call well if they wanted anyone to take it seriously. I bet the operators just mentally checked out the moment the words "flying saucer" were said because the incoherence of the rest of what she was saying would have just made them think "Great, she's either trippin' balls or one of those crazy everything's-a-UFO people."

The lesson from the whole situation should be this - Never talk to cops without a lawyer. Fuck people who say that this indicates guilt, you do not talk to them without a lawyer, because what happened to this family could happen to you. Never to talk to cops without a lawyer. Never.

Historian, you might not see this, but you should do a video on the guy in LA who tied a bunch of helium balloons to a lawn chair then went for a ride over the ocean I believe. His plan was to control ascent via pellet gun, but it was too rapid. Pretty soon the air force were involved and hilarity ensued. He might have died, I dunno. Also that could all be bullshit. Forewarned.
